Chapter 117: In the Eye of the Storm
Malekith, clearly not liking that response, prepared to fire again. But Harry was quicker, he fired an explosive curse at the ground under Malekith, the ground exploded, hooting Malekith upwards and forwards. Harry teleported in place to grab Malekith by the neck in midair and slam him into the ground. Three claws shot out of Harry's hand and pierced Malekith's chest, Malekith let out a cry of pain but quickly blasted Harry away. As Harry flew through the air he cast a killing curse at Malekith, the green curse managed to him dead center in the chest but it did not really have the desired effect that Harry wanted as Malekith stood up a second later.
"Damn it," Harry said as he landed next to Thor. "the Aether must be protecting him, he should be dead."
"I think you are right," Thor frowned. "does this change anything?" He asked.
"No, I'm still going to rip out of him." Harry said as he moved forward.
Malekith fired a blast at Harry who quickly pulled up his shield. Harry was pushed back but managed to stay up, the shield charged before firing a blast at Malekith. Malekith was able to put up a small shield that blocked the blast, even if it did cause a massive hole in the shield. Something Thor took full advantage of, he threw Mjolnir and it crashed into Malekith, sending him flying away. Thor quickly went after him.
"Looks like it's just you and me, buddy." Harry said to Padfoot who barked in agreement before the two charged towards the dark elves. Harry dodged a couple of blasts before he fired a cutting curse, the curse appeared to have missed it's apparent target but quickly curved around and hit him in the back, causing him to crash into another two elves. Harry teleported closer, he and Padfoot got to work, cutting down soldier after soldier.
...
"We're running out of time." Erik said. He along with Jane, Loki, and Sif were stood on the top of a tower, looking down at the action.
"Almost there." Jane replied.
"Are you sure this is going to work?" Erik asked with a hint of worry in his voice. "These devices were made to detect anomalies, not cause them."
"Mortal, can't you work any faster?" Loki asked impatiently, he and Sif were put on guard duty and were currently guarding Erik and Jane who was fiddling with some device, Loki knew enough about it to tell that it was affecting the anomalies created by the convergence but not really how it worked.
"I'm going as fast as I can." Jane huffed in an irritated voice. "And you are not immortal." she reminded him.
"You never were patient." Sif rolled her eyes.
"Oh yes, of course, an army of dark elves are attacking, do forgive me for wanting to speed things up." Loki said sarcastically, also rolling his eyes.
"Come on Darcy." Jane whispered, hoping Darcy and Ian would hurry up with planting the devices. If all went to plan then she'd be able to control or at least target the effects from the anomalies. She looked down and saw Harry and Padfoot quickly and easily reducing the population of dark elves.
"The convergence will be in full effect in seven minutes." Erik spoke.
"That just means we need to keep Malekith busy for eight." Jane replied.
"Well… she's confident." Loki noted.
"You might want to hold on to something." Jane suggested, the three did as she said and grabbed onto nearby pillars. Jane, using her device, was able to send away a small group of dark elves.
"How did you do that?" Sif asked in an amazed voice.
"Oh well, the gravitational fields interact with the weak spots between worlds, creating a…"
"Sorry to interrupt but you might want to get that one." Loki suggested as he pointed to a group of dark elves.
"Huh? Oh!" Jane quickly used her device again to get rid of them.
"Beautiful and you possess a brain, no wonder why my brother likes you." Loki commented, earning a blush from Jane.
...
Harry ducked a punch before jabbing his wand at the dark elf, hitting him in the chest with the tip and sending him back and crashing into a trio of other elves. Harry quickly finished them off with a trio of killing curses.
"Woof!" Padfoot barked, Harry turned around and saw Malekith standing a small distance away. Above him rifts in the sky which lead to other worlds, including Asgard. Malekith was stood under the rifts and had become surrounded in a dark red storm made of the Aether. The wind around them had become just as harsh as it had in the dark world. The Aether storm rose and began increasing in size as it travelled up into the sky and began moving into different portals to infect the other worlds.
"Harry." A voice called, Harry head snapped in the opposite direction and saw Thor walking towards him without his hammer. He was shortly followed along by Jane, Erik, Loki and Sif.
"Late as always brother." Loki commented.
"Where the fuck were you?" Harry asked Thor.
"I was fighting Malekith," Thor growled. "I ended up fighting him all over nearly every realm there is. One moment we were fighting here, the next we're in the home of the dark elves and several other places before I was able to get back here."
"What is happening?" Sif asked as she looked at the dark storm.
"We're too late." Jane said in a horrified whisper.
"The convergence is at it's peak." Selvig said as Darcy and Ian arrived.
"Can those things stop it?" Thor asked, pointing to Selvig's devices.
"Too far away." Jane shook her head.
"How close do they have to be?" Loki frowned.
"Very." Erik replied.
